DEDICATION

Harold S. Smith;
retiring after 42 years
of service

Harold, S. Smith, a native of Wisconsin, received his bach-
elor's degree in History from Kentucky State University and
his graduate degrees in same field, the Master of Arts and
the Doctor of Philosophy, from the University of Wisconsin.
Since 1936, he has taught at Kentucky State University and
was Chairman of the History and Political Science from 1958
to 1977. His area of interest in teaching has been World
Civilization and English History. During his tenure as depart-
ment chairman an Afro-American Studies Program was de-
veloped, the Frankfort Semester Program was orignated, and
internship program in State government which was subse-
quently taken over and continued by the Kentucky State
Department of Personnel and incorporation with several oth-
er departments, an interdisciplinary graduate program was
initiated that grew into the present highly successful School
of Public Affairs.

In 1974, Governor Julian Carroll appointed Dr. Smith to
Historic Preservation Review Board, a professional body of
historians, architects, and archaeologist, which evaluates
nominations of historic structures and districts for inclusion
on the National Register of Historic Places. For many years
Dr. Smith has been active in the Kentucky Division of the
United Nations Association and the Association for the
Study of Afro-American Life and History. He
was the recipient of the Kentucky State Uni-
versity Distinguished Alumni Award in 1969.

Dr. Smith's off-campus activities have in-
cluded many public service responsibilities.
Since 1974 he has represented Franklin
County on the Bluegrass Area Development
Board, the body which makes recommenda-
tions to the federal government concering
request for funds arising from city and
county governments and semi-public agen-
cies in seventeen central Kentucky counties.

As layman in public health, Dr. Smith has
been for a number of years a member of the
Bluegrass Mental-Health Retardation Board
serving a seventeen county area in central
Kentucky. He is also chairman of the Blue-
grass West Comprehensive Care Center for
seven counties adjacent to Frankfort and
Franklin County. Related to his interest in
public health is his membership on the State
Merit System Council for Local Health De-
partments. He has also served a term on the
board of the local chapter of the American
Red Cross.

For 42 years Dr. Smith has contributed to
the intellectual stature of generations of stu-
dents at Kentucky State University and to
the physical and mental health needs of the
residents of central Kentucky because of
this service we dedicate the 1977-1978
THOROBRED YEARBOOK in his honor.

PRESIDENTIAL
REVIEW

OF 1977-78

The 1977-78 academic year was highlighted by phase one of a campus
beautification program. Two women's dormitories. Chandler and Kentucky
Hall, were closed for extensive renovations and are scheduled to be ready
for occupancy during the 1978 academic year. The new entrance was com-
pleted along with a adjacent parking lot. Landscaping of the area under
Hathaway Hall (classroom building) was started and the new 6,200 capacity
Alumni Stadium with a field house was completed. The President's home was
renovated and enlarged.

Plans for other construction projects to be completed or initiated during
the school year 1978-79 were also completed. These include a new adminis-
trative services building, classroom building, pedestrian mall, a chilled water
plant and a maintenance warehouse building. We feel with the improve-
ments already completed or initiated, coupled with the proposed projects, in
about 10 years, Kentucky State University will have one of the most beautiful
campuses in the Commonwealth and within the region.

The academic program is the heart of the University. Review and reorga-
nization of the academic programs and departments were the most signifi-
cant changes to occur in this area. These changes should result in overall
improvements in the instructional program.

The University also experienced some success in the area of fund-raising
during the year. The most significant accomplishment was the receipt of
$406,000 grant from the W.K. Kellog Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan to
enhance the business and economics program.

Overall, 1977-78 represented the beginning of a new era for Kentucky
State University. The University received a new mission statement which
will require a thorough review of an, in some cases, revisions in all areas. We
certainly look forward to 1978-79 and to the many challenges and further
developments which it holds.

FOR
ACADEMIC
AFFAIRS

The academic program at
Kentucky State University is
committed to providing a qual-
ity education for the students
which we serve. For almost 90
years the University has en-
deavored to meet its students
at the level at which they enter
the institution and move them
to the place where they will be
viable and competitive in the
work world. Our success can be
measured by the alumni who are
scattered all over North Amer-
ica in all levels of responsibility
in education, business, industry,
and government

Presently we are striving to
expand the number of opportu-
nities for educational advance-
ment offered here on campus.
The University has always had a
basic set of academic exper-
iences, mainly in the liberal arts
mode, but we see the urgent ne-
cessity to expand these offer-
ings to meet the challenges of a
modern technological society.
The task facing Kentucky State
University and sister institu-
tions is mirrored in the fact that
85% of all of the scientists that
have ever lived on the face of
the earth are alive today. What
is true of science can possibly
be said for other disciplines.
Within the life time of nearly
every person on campus we
have gone from a society that
was controlled by a six day

work week, to one that provides
more time for recreation than
any other major facet of our life
style. Yet, we must educate for
the changes of today and those
that are in the future.

I have no doubt that Kentucky
State University will meet the
challenges successfully. We
have academic programs that
are designed to fully prepare
students to master the tasks
one will face in the work world
of today. These skills can also be
the foundation for any career
changes that might come to
pass in the future.

We fully expect the course of-

ferings to expand and grow with
time. We want to train persons
to meet some of the shortages
in medicine, dentistry, nursing
and other health-related profes-
sions. There are needs in busi-
ness, technology, and the basic
sciences that we can fulfil. This
will be done through new under-
graduate and graduate pro-
grams. But above all we want to
continue to supply the Common-
wealth and the nation with the
f ine graduates that are exempli-
fied in our present alumni.

FOR
BUSINESS
AFFAIRS

HERMAN ROBINSON

The Kentucky State Universi-
ty Office for Business Affairs,
has the responsibility of main-
taining a program of sound fis-
cal management in order to pro-
vide the University with com-
modities and service that are
necessary for the operation and
success of all research, aca-
demic, and public service pro-
grams of the University.

Any college or university,
whether it's public or private, or
whether its support comes from
any imaginable combination of
appropriations, gifts, tuitions,
investments or endowments, is
a unique management entity. It
is unique in that the user of its
products, the student, is not ex-
pected to pay all of its cost and
that resources are expected to
be expended as fully as is possi-
ble to achieve educational goals.
Society's commitment to higher
education is a mandate to the
institution to use its resources
for purposes of great social im-
portance.

The success of any of the Uni-
versity's programs depend to a
large extent upon the budget-
ing, planning, and control by the
Office for Business Affairs.

Therefore, the ultimate aim of
the Office for Business Affairs,
is to devise and implement a
system which will be continu-
ously revised and improved, to
provide the University with fi-
nancial and management data,
to improve the efficiency and
accuracy in implementing any
of its research, academic, and
public service programs.

Beginning the first of next

year, some of the things the Of-
fice for Business Affairs will be
doing is to start implementation
of a new accounting system for
the University.

The Maintenance Department
as well as the Central Office will
be involved in new and renovat-
ed capital construction projects
such as.-
New Academic Service Build-
ing (Administration Building)
New Classroom Building
Continuation of the Renova-
tion of our Dormitories —
which were started this past
year.

DEAN OF
STUDENT

JOHNNY D.
SHEPPARD

Dr. Johnny D. Sheppard, as
Dean of Student Affairs, is re-
sponsible for the administration
and coordination of the student
personnel program which is per-
formed by specialists in various
offices of the department. He is.
charged with providing leader-
ship and guidance to the follow-
ing areas: Offices of the Associ-
ate Deans of Students, the
Counseling and Placement Cen-
ter, Student Activities, the
Health Center and Services and
the Financial Aid Office.

As the chief student person-
nel officer of the University, his
function is to administer and
coordinate the programs and
services of student life as re-
flected in the various relations
of the University policies and
services related to student life
are put into effect. He serves as
chief advisor to the President
on matters of University policy
pertaining to student life and
welfare and keeps the President
informed on all matters of con-
cern which occurs in the stu-
dent personnel area.

The present student service
program at Kentucky State Uni-
versity focuses primarily upon
providing service to or for stu-
dents and to a lesser degree on
providing programs which con-
tribute to students' educational
experiences and self develop-
ment.

Our changing student popula-

tion demands that we enhance
some of our present programs
and services, integrate others
that are present on campus, and
develop new ones if we are to
meet the needs of our students.
With the increased number of
commuters, veterans, interna-
tional student, and older stu-
dents, it is vital that we expand
and intergrate programs and
services for this new population.
Our strategy is 7 " to take students,
from where they are to where
we believe they must ultimately
be. The thrust of our strategy is
student upward mobility with
requisite support diminishing
with increasing student self-
support (academic and person-
al) until each student achieves
his/her capacities to perform.

The future goal of the Student
Services Program, is to continue
the usual student services, with

no decline in quality while cen-
tralizing efforts, expanding pro-
grams and services, providing
new directions for mutable so-
cial needs, and maximizing re-
sources. This goal is consistent
with the University's mission of
providing the student with spe-
cific knowledge and skills for
living more effectively in a

DEVELOPMENT

BERNARD TAYLOR

Alumni Affairs, Public Rela-
tions, Publications, Grantsman-
ship and Governmental Rela-
tions, Fund Raising, and the Ken-
tucky State University Founda-
tion, Incorporated with its
Emergency Student Loan Pro-
gram, in the main, comprize the
Office of Development. While
individually each office has a
specific function, as the name
implies, together they function
toward the realization of a com-
mon goal: "expanding institu-
tional visibility through institu-
tional vissibility." Hence, pro-
grams and services which im-
pact this goal, even remotely,
are instigated by the Unit.

Since its establishment in
1976, as a separate administra-
tive unit, significant strides
have been made toward accom-
plishing individual goal-related
objectives . . . Alumni support
has more than doubled and the
number of active Alumni Chap-
ters has also doubled, newswor-
thy items about the University
are receiving greater and ex-
panded coverage, an Office of
Publications has been created
resulting in a significant im-
provement in the publications
and graphics which leave the
campus, additional external
funds and other support are be-
ing pursued from not only gov-
ernmental agencies, but also
from foundations, corporations,
and individuals — a $406,000.00
grant from the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation is but one example

of the level of support which is
being sought — and the Ken-
tucky State University Founda-
tion Incorporated, is providing a
new level of support for institu-
tional programs and services.
Of particular note is the extent
to which the Foundation's Emer-
gency Loan Program is provid-
ing service to the University
Family.

Priorities for the coming fis-
cal year include expanding ac-
tivities in all areas with special
emphasis on public relations,
publications, and on fund rais-
ing, especially in the private
sector. Of course, the success
of our efforts depend, in a very
great measure, to the level of
support received from the Uni-
versity Family. Can we count on
you?

OFFERING THE
KNOWLEDGE OF
COMMUNICATION

The Department of Modern Foreign Languages has two
primary functions:

1. To offer courses and instruction in French, Spanish,
and German for students who must fulfill a foreign lan-
guage requirement (service function).

2. To provide adequate professional programs for
French and Spanish majors who intend to teach in secon-
dary schools or pursue graduate studies.

Although its curricula pertain primarily to the areas of
language, literature, and civilization, in composition
courses, the instructors place special emphasis on the
practical, everyday vocabulary of modern careers and
activities. Thus we endeavor to combine theory and prac-
tice, intellectual growth and vocational skills.

At present, the Department has five faculty members:
four full-time members (two in French and two in Spanish)
and one part-time member (in elementary German). Two
members of the Department are native speakers of the
languages that they teach: Department Chairman Dr. Ar-
senio Alfaro, (picture right) Spanish, originally from Puer-
to Ricot Dr. Danielle Thompson, French, originally from
Belgium.

ployes some of the latest innovations in industri-
al materials, machines and processes, couples
with extensive library resources and a well
rounded faculty in order to offer programs in
several categories. At the baccalaureate degree
level, two curriculum options are offered for in-
dustrial teacher preparation and two for the
preparation of manufacturing technologists. For
those who want to pursue regular community
college courses, want occupational enrichment,
or desire occupational and personal develop-
ment, the department offers associate degree
programs in Aviation Technology, Drafting and
Design Technology and Electronics Technology.

Department chairman is Dr. William Bearden

ADDING AND SUBTRACTING
= STRONGER DEPARTMENT

The Department of Sociology, Social Work, and Social Science
has revised its curriculum by deleting obsolete courses and
adding more relevant ones, thereby providing the students with
more options in regard to their course selections.

A minor in Gerentology has been added to the Social Work
program, providing students (as well as state government em-
ployees) with the opportunity to acquire more knowledge in the
area of aging. The addition of the minor is quite timely not only
because of the national interest in the plight of the aged, but
also a high degree of local interest in this area has been mani-
fested.

In regard to Community Service, most of the faculty members
are involved in community projects or activities including, the
YMCA, the Red Cross, the Senior Citizens Center, Planning §
Zoning Board, Bluegrass Surban Health Council, and the Salva-
tion Army. During the Fall Semester of 1977, this department
conducted a workshop on Minority Concerns in Alcohol, friends
and neighbors as far as Louisville and Fort Knox, Kentucky
attended and participated in the workshop. Finally, during the
Spring of 1978, a second workshop was given by the department
entitled, Pre-retirement Planning.This activity held the atten-
tion of many off-campus persons who played an active role in
the planning, conducting, and attending the workshop.

Department chairperson is Dr. Charles Humphrey.

The Criminal Justice Department has recently
introduced a program called "The Student Expo-
sure Program." The program provides students
with an opportunity to live a particular phase of
the Criminal Justice System, in which, they have
studied in the classroom. During the first year, a
group of twenty criminal justice majors spent a
night and two days at the Kentucky State Peniten-
tiary. During their stay the students were subject
to the same conditions as the inmates, including
eating, sleeping, and recreation with inmates.

Professor Jessie Crenshaw serves department
chairperson.

MATH DEPARTMENT
HOST MATH BOWL

The services of the Department of Math-
ematics and Physics include a Basic Skills
Math Program, major in Mathematics and Ap-
plied Science, and the hosting of a regional
Math Bowl. Through the Basic Skills — Math
Program, students have opportunities to learn
basic mathematics and science. Mathematics
majors may prepare for graduate study, for
occupations in mathematics related areas,
and through a Double Degree Program offered
in conjuction with the University of Kentucky,
careers in engineering.

The Kentucky State University regional
Math Bowl is part of a state wide competition
among Junior High Schools. Other regionals
are held at other state universities, and a
state champion is chosen each year in a final
contest at the University of Kentucky.

HIGHLIGHTS IN

HOME
ECONOMICS

In early Fall, students majoring in Dietet-
ics and Food Service Management, under
the chairmanship of Dr. Alpha Jones, jour-
neyed to Atlanta, Georgia to participate in
scheduled hearings on "Nutrition Goals for
Americans." Future teachers in Home Eco-
nomics returned to Kentucky State Universi-
ty campus with the 1977-78 Membership
Award after the Spring meeting of the Stu-
dent Section of the Kentucky Home Econom-
ics Association at the Hyatt Regency in Lex-
ington March 30-31, 1978. The Kentucky State
University Chapter not only recruited the
greatest number of new members over all
other universities in Kentucky, but also cap-
tured the office of Vice President Elect. De-
bris Vinegar is the new state Vice Presi-
dent.

A Proclamation signed by Frankfort may-
or James C. Birch designating April 2-9 as
the Week of the Young Child was presented
to the Home Economics Department on
March 15, 1978. Participants, in the week long
activities of exhibits, lectures and work-
shops included Preschool and Day Care Ad-
ministrators and personnel from Frankfort
and Woodford County.

ESTABLISHED

Effective July I. 1978, the De-
partment of Business and Econom-
ics will be elevated to the School
of Business. The Department also
has received a Kellogg Foundation
Grant in the amount of $406,000 to
be used, primarily, for faculty de-
velopment. Dr. Gus T. Ridgel,
chairman of the department of
business and economics, will serve
as project director. "This grant
will enable us to increase the qual-
ity of departmental faculty," Rid-
gel said. "It wilt also enhance
teaching effectiveness and it will
faciliate our efforts to achieve ac-
crediation by the American As-
sembly of Collegiate Schools of
Business (AACSB), the profession-
al accrediting body."

CARRYING ON A
GREAT
TRADITION

Several milestones were achieved in the De-
partment of Music during the 1977-78 aca-
demic year, such as: The Concert Choir, after
rigorous competition, was selected to perform
at the American Choral Directors Association
meeting in Atlanta and received the only
standing ovation in the history of the organi-
zation. For the first time in recent years, the
KSU Marching Band was selected to perform
for the Kentucky Derby.

At least one faculty member served on a
national commission of the largest profession-
al music society.

An artist-faculty member performed recit-
als on the campuses of other universities and
performed concerto with the Greensboro
Symphony Orchestra.

The Department of Music is chaired by Dr.
Warren C. Swindell.

THE PURSUIT OF
ACADEMIC
EXCELLENCE

Chaired by Leonard A. Slade, Jr. (Ph. D.
from the University of Illinois), the Depart-
ment of English has written books, articles for
journals, and book review for Kentucky's ma-
jor newspapers. Several teachers have read
papers at national meetings, while others have
held national offices in professional organiza-
tions and have edited national newsletters
and journals.

Since 1972 (when Slade became Chairman)
the Department has added eight Ph. D.'s. Gra-
duate degrees were earned at the following
universities: Illinois, Notre Dame, Indiana,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Southern Illinois
(Carbondale), Cornell, Iowa, Northeastern,
Minnesota, Columbia, and Atlanta.

The Department looks forward to receiving
more fellowships and grants for graduate
study, traditional research, and improved ser-

CO-ED NURSING
PROGRAM
ENROLLMENT
INCREASING

The Kentucky State University Associate De-
gree Nursing Program, chaired by Mrs. Patsy O.
Turner covers two academic years. The two
year curriculum includes general education and
professional courses. The program is designed
to prepare both men and women to become reg-
istered nurses who can function with intellectual
and technical competency. It combines studies
at the University with planned and guided ex-
perience in patient care at 5 different hospitals
and 3 Health agencies.

Successful completion of the Nursing program
qualifies the graduate to receive an Associate in
Applied Science Degree and to write the exami-
nation for licensure as a Registered Nurse in the
state of Kentucky.

THE STAGE IS
WAITING FOR YOU

Through the guidance of the Area's Director, Dr.
Winona Fletcher? two faculty members, Mrs. Olive
Stroud-Sheffey and Mr. Rob Woods; and the two
technical assistants, Mrs. Sherry Howard and Mr.
John Smith, students who enter into the theatre
receive a quality education as well as chances to
develop their creativity and imaginations.

During the 1977-78 school year students partici-
pated in Dr. Fletcher's major production of Run
Little Chillun, an exciting revival of Ha$l Johnson's
1938 Federal Theatre Project Play which also
starred Mrs. Olive Stroud-Sheffey and Mr. Robert
Woods of the Speech and Theatre Faculty and had
participants from the Frankfort Community the-
atre group. In September of that year, students
snjoyed an experimental Readers Theatre produc-
tion of The Battle Of The Sexes, directed by Mrs.
Olive Stroud-Sheffey.

DIVERSIFICATION IS
THE

WATCH WORD

The first School of Public Affairs in the Com-
monwealth of Kentucky began January 1, 1973 at
Kentucky State University. The initial degree
offering was the Master of Public Affairs. The
School is now the largest public management
graduate program in Kentucky, a growth posi-
tion which increases our academic, research,
and public service training impact. The School
attracts individuals from the broadest possible
social and economic backgrounds, who expect
to or already operate in both the public and
private sectors. All teaching and research ac-
tivities are problem-oriented and pragmatic.
Professional career options leading to interdisci-
plinary and specialized training in the develop-
ment of management and technical skills are
offered at the graduate level. A complementary
bachelor degree program in public affairs was
started in January 1978 at the undergraduate
level.

Dean of School of Public Affairs is Dr. James
A. Graves.

The Kentucky State University Com-
munity College offers evening and Sat-
urday classes on the campus; and even-
ing, noon-hour, and Saturday classes
off campus, in Frankfort, and in other
communities. People who want to enroll
in college as full-time or as part-time
students, but who cannot attend during
the day are provided numerous oppor-
tunities to pursue degrees or to work
toward meeting special needs through
a variety of courses and a variety of
schedule opportunities, during the fall,

long time and winning all the
way. Racing through life has
provided many achievements
and downfalls that were over-
shadowed by the gratification
received by being on the inside
track and actively participating
in ventures which were benefi-
cial to many.

Dr. Exum had always been on
the inside track, serving as an
assistant manager on the Olym-
pic track team in Munich, Ger-
many in 1972, and head manager
of the '76 games in Montreal

v

Canada. Dr. Exum has also
served as Co-Chairman of the
committee responsible for the
color and style selection of the
uniforms worn by the '76 Olym-
pians.

Going back down the track
Dr. Exum turned the curves as a
member of the NCAA Council
from 1972 to 1976. Hurdles suc-
cessful as Chairman of NCAA
Council Division Cross-Country
Meet Committee and Assistant
Manager of the USA Mens Pan-
American Olympic Team in Cali,
Columbia in 1971

Dr. Exum Sprinted down the
field as a member of the Selec-
tion Committee of the National
Hall of Fame for Track and Field
in the United States, and as
chairman of the NCAA National
Summer Youth Sports Program
Committee. He headed towards
the tape as a member of the U.S.
Olympic Track and Field Com-
mittee then jumped off track to
serve as chairman of the Frank-

fort-Franklin County Planning
and zoning Commission and as a
member of the Mayor's Adviso-
ry Committee.

But whether on or off the
track Dr. Exum has run a great
race. He arrived at K.S.U. in 1949
and worked magic as our Athle-
tic Director, track coach, assis-
tant football coach, basketball
coach, tennis and cross-country
coach. Dr. William Exum has,
after twenty-nine years of ser-
vice, created an athletic tradi-
tion for Kentucky State Univer-
sity and a Legend within him-
self. Dr. Exum, the man, the ba-
sis of a tradition and our legend,
we salute you.

EQUALITY IN EDUCATION
GOAL OF AIDP

By Barbara Hannah

During the Civil Rights movement it
was noted that black schools were not as
competitive as white schools, and that
something should be done. To help allevi-
ate the problem AIDP, Advanced Institu-
tional Development Program,. was begun
with the idea of putting more money into
black schools. The program, under the Ti-
tle III, was to help bring about equality in
education.

AIDP is incorporated into two phases.
First, the basic program, then the ad-
vanced program. In its early years with
AIDP, Kentucky State was under its basic
program. The basic program was not
multi-year program, it allowed more for
institutional development and there was
no stipulation for planning management.

In 1973, K.S.U. requested the advanced
program. The advanced phase of AIDP
required that K.S.U. must develop a plan-
ning -management development program
where-by there would be more efficient
management. A grant of 2.3 million dol-
lars was offered K.S.U. with K.S.U. match-
ing it with 1.8 million dollars.

Minerva Figgs, AIDP coordinator for
Kentucky State, explained the areas in
which K.S.U. was funded beginning in
1974. The areas are Career Advancement,
Student Services, Planning Management

and Evaluation System.

The Career Advancement portion of
AIDP consists of strenghening existing
academic programs at K.S.U. and intro-
ducing others whereby minorities could
be involved in more careers. Two new
programs at Kentucky State include Man-
ufacturing Technology and Commercial
Music.

The Student Services segment of AIDP
provides funds for the counseling center.
The funds help the center to expand the
staff and offer more help to the student.

The third area in which K.S.U. is funded
by AIDP is Planning-Management. In this
area all segments of the institution are
touched upon. This area seeks to answer
the question of how efficiently and effec-
tively each academic department at
K.S.U. has done its job. It also addresses
the problems associated with allocation
of resources and the effectiveness of
various programs for students. Planning-
Management is supported by Data-Base
Management which is concerned with
computerized information.

Overall, the AIDP program seeks to
make things better for the student and to
meet intellectual and personal develop-
ment along with institutional develop-
ment.

HOPES FOR A BETTER DAY

EDITORIAL

"There's a better day coming for Ken-
tucky State University, hallelujah, hallelu-
jah."

This statement, made by our president,
Dr. W.A. Butts, left everyone wondering
and hoping of the possibility of uplifting
K.S.U. to a level of respectability.

Dr. Butts delivered a sermonstyle
speech during our first All University
Convocation. Dr. Blake opened the as-
sembly with hopes of having a strong
year, commenting on the strength of the
student body and faculty. But it was Dr.
Butts' delivery that touched home.

Dr. Butts spoke of an effort filled fu-
ture, with full development needed from
everyone. He said he favors critics that
deal with facts, and emphasized how we
shouldn't fight against each other.

"The University is no greater than
those who work and study here," said Dr.
Butts. Adding that "The character of this
University depends on those who fill the
chairs of authority." Dr. Butts then shift-

ed directions to point put the responsibil-
ities of the students, stating that "if you
are not here for business-you have no
business here." He went on to advise the
students, "don't be so cool in your life
and freeze, that when you thaw out you
will drip into oblivion." Dr. Butts went to
state that this is not a campus for loafers,
nor is it a haven for drugabuse.

Later in his speech Dr. Butts talked
about the student-teacher ratio here at
K.S.U., and how it didn't comply with the
State of Kentucky's norm of sixteen to
one. Dr. Butts pointed out that there will
be no growth in the size of the faculty but
the recruitment of instate students is a
must. He went on to talk about the rela-
tionship between the faculty and the stu-
dent body, and how he hopes to enhance
that through a faculty-student visitation
program.

There's a better day coming for
K.S.U.," Let's all work together to make
this wish a reality.

FORMER ATHLETES

sity graduates were inducted

struction programs for Chica-
go Public Schools, was hon-
ored for performance in foot-

held in the Carl M. Hill Student
Center Ballroom.

RECORDS FALL FOR SULLIVAN

By Danny Ray White

Kentucky State Senior quarter-
back, Curt Sullivan found Octo-
ber 1st. a record setting day. On
a day when ball carriers found
yardage tough on a rain-soaked
field, Sullivan filled the air with
spirals, passing his way into the
record books. A four-year regu-
lar, the Ail-American candidate
and prospect passed for 271
yards against Carson-Newman
Saturday afternoon.

Sullivan had a total offense
output of 306 in all the Breds as a

team had 431 total yards. He has
a career total of 4,239 total yards
and is expected to surpass 5,000
yards total offense by the sea-
son's end. After holding the club
completion record for two years,
Sullivan termed the new record
"just another good perfor-
mance." The pro scouts will think
so too, especially after Sullivan
surpasses the other Thorobred
passing records at the season's
end. Nice going Curtl

GOVERNOR RECOMMENDS
HISTORIC BUDGET

Governor Julian Carroll is living up to his self-image as an
"education governor", by recommending that $16.2 million
dollars be allocated to KSU over the next two years. Carroll's
suggested appropiation is actually $400,000 over the Council
on Higher Education's recommendation. Citing the $6 million
renovation program currently underway on campus, Carroll
explained that the recommended increase is intended to pro-
tect the state's investment here. "Over the years, the upkeep
of these facilities had been neglected to the extent that the
safety of students, faculty and staff was jeopardized," he
said. The $400,000 increase will be used toward the expansion
of the campus maintenance program. The Council had asked
for $7.45 million from the general fund for the 1978-79 fiscal
year for K-State and 8.54 million for the 1979-80. Carroll's
budget proposal calls for $7.56 million the first year and $8.58
million the second year. (Reprinted State Journal, Frankfort)

"Eventhough this is the largest budget in our history, we are
still going to have to tighten our belts over the next two years
if we are to accomplish many of our objectives," President
Butts Said.

UNIVERSITY RECEIVES
LARGEST PRIVATE
GRANT IN HISTORY

President W.A. Butts has an-
nounced receipt of a grant from
the W.K. Kellogg Foundation,
Battle Creek, Michigan, in the
amount of $406,000. This grant,
to be awarded over the next
three years, is to be used to
strengthen and expand the Uni-
versity's programs in business
and economics. Specifically, the
funds will be used for faculty
development, faculty salaries,
faculty and student travel, con-
sultants, equipment and supplies
and for library resources.

"This is the largest private
grant in the history of the Uni-
versity," Butts said, "and we
are most appreciative to the
Kellogg Foundation for its com-
mitment to higher education,
especially to institutions like
Kentucky State University." We
believe that this grant repre-
sents the catalyst for our pro-
gram to attract funds from oth-
er external sources, especially
in the private sector ... an area
where we have up to now exper-
ience minimal success." Ber-
nard Taylor, dean of develop-
ment, said of the grant, "receipt
of a grant of this magnitude
from a foundation with the pres-
tige of Kellogg will certainly en-
hance our efforts as regards the
development and submission of
proposals to other private agen-
cies . . . our development pro-
gram has finally gotten that
much needed shot in the arm;
we can only go up."

ALMA MATER

BY FREDERICK JARMON —

Hail to our Alma Mater

Dear is her name,

And there shall be no other,

To surpass her fame.

Hers is the hand that guides us

Day after day

And she will stand beside us
When we go on our way.

May blessings be upon her
Shepherd of youths
She holds the seat of honor,
In the hall of truth.
Memories of her shall never
Fade from our hearts,
And we will praise her ever
For the love she imparts
